9. The opening session was addressed by Alicia Bárcena, Executive Secretary of the Economic
Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC); Jessica Faieta, Regional Director for
Latin America and the Caribbean of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP); Marina
Arismendi, Minister of Social Development of Uruguay and Rodolfo Nin Novoa, Minister for Foreign
Affairs of Uruguay.
10. The Executive Secretary of ECLAC thanked the Government of Uruguay for its hospitality and
highlighted that country’s early commitment to social development and equality; she stated that ECLAC
shared Uruguay’s life cycle approach as well as its vision that poverty reduction policies were not enough
to achieve a more egalitarian society, and that it was necessary to build a system which could guarantee
greater levels of well-being for the entire population. The Executive Secretary stressed that social issues
were not played out in the social sphere alone and that a virtuous coordination with the economic,
production and environmental areas was required, referring to social development as an investment that
5
yielded positive returns for economic growth and environmental protection: growth for equality, equality
for growth. Lastly, she added that ECLAC viewed inequality as heavily conditioned by both the production
matrix and the culture of privilege that characterized the region, and that it was time to leave that culture
behind and transition to a culture of equality.
11. After expressing her satisfaction with the inter-agency cooperation efforts between ECLAC and the
United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in organizing the Conference, the Regional Director for
Latin America and the Caribbean of UNDP referred to the achievements and remaining challenges described
in the 5HJLRQDO+XPDQHYHORSPHQW5HSRUW IRU/DWLQ$PHULFDDQG WKHDULEEHDQprepared by the
organization. She recalled that more than a third of the population of Latin America and the Caribbean
remained economically vulnerable and that the hard core of exclusion could not be solved by with economic
growth alone, but rather required inclusion, non-discrimination and affirmative action policies. She referred
to the support provided to countries by UNDP in the implementation of the Report’s recommendations, the
deepening of knowledge to continue progressing in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development, and the creation of roadmaps to assist countries with implementation, through its
Mainstreaming, Acceleration and Policy Support (MAPS) strategy applied on the basis of each country’s
development priorities.
12. The Minister of Social Development of Uruguay stated that, despite social achievements in her
country, much work remained to advance equality, and highlighted the importance of safeguarding progress
and avoiding setbacks. She underscored the need to strengthen social protection systems and cited the
country’s integrated national care system, Uruguay’s main social protection pillar that engaged different
sectors and ministries based on the notion of care as a right. In light of the current state of affairs in Uruguay,
the region and the world in general, she described multigenerational solidarity as a necessity, together with
an inter-agency approach on the part of governments, not only to care for people, but also to ensure their
inclusion and the full exercise of their rights. She concluded by calling on countries to share their
experiences and work together so that all members of society —today’s and tomorrow’s generations— in
all their diversity, could have the same rights.
13. Lastly, after saying that it was an honour for Uruguay to host the second session of the Regional
Conference on Social Development, the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Uruguay stressed that social
inclusion was a core aspect of development in the country and the region, and recalled that it was a priority
established in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. He referred to Uruguay’s efforts to reduce
social gaps, by tackling poverty in a comprehensive manner and mainstreaming social policies and their
sustainability. As well as its integrated national care system, Uruguay had made progress in digital inclusion
and social dialogue, which engaged civil society in the government’s social agenda. To conclude, he ratified
Uruguay’s commitment to overcoming inequality and commended the countries’ efforts to participate in
meetings with those goals in mind, inasmuch as cooperation and the exchange of experiences were critical
for continued progress towards greater equality in the region.

FKDOOHQJHV (agenda item 3)
14. The Executive Secretary of ECLAC presented the document /LQNDJHV EHWZHHQ WKH VRFLDO DQG
SURGXFWLRQ VSKHUHV JDSV SLOODUV DQG FKDOOHQJHV.2 She referred to a change of era taking place,
characterized by six main elements: the decoupling of the real economy from the financial sphere, with
growing financialization and concentration in financial assets; significant geopolitical changes, including
2 LC/CDS.2/3.
6
the situation in China, the United States and Europe; growing inequality, as illustrated by the concentration of
most of global wealth in the hands of only eight individuals; the migration of 30 million people in the region, of
which almost 50% were undocumented; the industrial and technological revolution, and stagnation of global and
regional growth and the tendency to invest in growth “at all costs,” which signalled the need to guarantee
sustainability and reverse inequality. In that framework, she explained that the document’s proposals included
linking competitiveness with decent, good-quality employment, breaking up the inequality pipeline, reducing
stubborn poverty and facilitating the transition from education to employment.
15. Fiorella Molinelli, Minister of Development and Social Inclusion of Peru, said that the document
represented a call to address the current economic situation and that it posed interesting challenges. She
highlighted the need to position equality at the centre of sustainable development and to address inequality
through a multidimensional approach, with comprehensive and coordinated policies that took the social
footprint of development into account. She emphasized the notion of social public spending, combined with
the distribution and oversight roles of States equipped with enhanced information systems. Her Ministry
had advanced in reducing both poverty and extreme poverty, and in providing equal access to basic services,
paying special attention to early childhood development, with a particular focus on chronic undernutrition
and anaemia. Lastly, she mentioned that Peru’s efforts were based on the maxim of “leaving no one behind”
and that the country was preparing to join the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development
(OECD) in 2021.
16. Next, the Minister of Social Development of Uruguay stated that the Government of Uruguay
agreed with the document’s central thesis of putting equality at the centre of sustainable development, and
stressed that progress in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals would be possible only through joint
coordination. Considering that childhood, adolescence and youth were the age groups that suffered the
greatest levels of exclusion, her Ministry considered it essential to reinforce the notion that everyone had
the same rights, and that education and quality of learning were key. In closing, she referred to the need to
work towards the eradication of the culture of privilege.
17. The floor was then given to the country representatives.
18. The representative of Argentina highlighted the document’s key concepts for working on social
policy and its acknowledgement of what countries had achieved overall, in particular regarding
multidimensional poverty. Argentina had designed social policies aimed at the provision of a minimum
income, and had brought those transfers into line with formal employment in an effort to end the myth that
they could discourage job-seeking. She identified two pillars of social policies in her country —equal
opportunities and the focus on early childhood— as well as proposing that financial inclusion was essential
for development, and that awareness was growing in economic spheres of the importance of linking their
economic actions with those of the social sphere.
19. The representative of Cuba expressed the opinion that policies in Latin America and the Caribbean
had not been geared towards social development, which was confirmed by the projections on the region’s
vulnerability. He stressed that reducing inequality remained an essential condition for a world free of
poverty, and that progress made should be safeguarded by further expanding inclusive social development
policies. Cuba’s policies were people-centred, and the country continued to make progress along the path
of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, despite the embargo against the country.
20. The representative of the Dominican Republic said that the document highlighted the warnings and
reflections that required attention to keep development moving forward in the region.
7
21. The representative of Colombia stated that her country approached inclusion from a
multidimensional perspective; in her opinion, regional and global agendas had to align with the
2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, as that would lead to more sustainable and efficient use of
resources. Progress could be made by changing traditional work systems and improving monitoring and
assessment mechanisms. The representative concluded by saying that the peace agreement in Colombia,
aided by the experiences of other countries, offered an opportunity to overcome poverty in rural areas and
to generate greater equality, and that —together with reaching the Sustainable Development Goals—
convening all of society to achieve peace represented one of the country’s greatest challenges.
22. The representative of Panama reflected on the use of the term equality instead of equity. She
drew attention to the role and approach of the private sector in her country and argued that social
development would not occur as a natural consequence of economic growth and that the rationale must
therefore be inverted: inclusion had to be achieved to enable growth. She pointed out that corruption was a
reflection of the culture of privilege and that all sectors needed to be included in the advancement of early
childhood policies.
23. The representative of Costa Rica stated that the report was both a portrait and a challenge for the
region’s countries and that efforts had to be redoubled for progress to continue. She reiterated that social
issues were not played out in the social sphere alone and that work in isolation was no longer an option:
efforts must be coordinated. In her opinion, the qualitative leap would occur when policies centred on
people, not on numbers. Lastly, she expressed the urgent need to eliminate the culture of privilege.
24. The representative of Brazil expressed concern over the low level of productivity and the persistent
investment in unsustainable growth, when the priority should be eradicating poverty and inequality. She
regretted that —despite all of the countries implementing similar programmes— work and education
inclusion had yet to be guaranteed for younger generations.
25. The representative of Ecuador identified with the document’s content and approach and said that
his country had developed a model of care —the 7RGDXQD9LGD plan— which covered the entire life cycle.
He insisted that social programmes required the adoption of redistributive fiscal policies, and that
innovations were needed to build on previous achievements and avoid setbacks.
26. The representative of Mexico stressed that the gaps identified clearly reflected rigidities in the
labour market and in the economic policies of recent decades. Inclusive development was linked to regional
dynamics; thus, it was necessary to reflect on developments in regions that had become part of broader
value chains, and by doing so had developed their capacities and improved their income and job
opportunities. Accordingly, skills certification was essential to involve more of the population in progress
and galvanize the economy. Lastly, he referred to the need for policies in response to earthquakes and
hurricanes, whose impacts tended to be worst in poorer areas.
27. The representative of Haiti recalled the destructive and socially adverse impact of natural and climate-
related disasters in her country; the assistance received to repair damages accounted for only 15% of
requirements and work was being executed by non-governmental organizations (NGOs), which limited the
government’s scope of action. She regretted the loss that the mass emigration of young people represented for
the Dominican Republic, and stressed the urgent need for incentives to encourage that age group to stay in the
country or return. She listed a number of actions her country had undertaken in relation to social challenges,
which included reviewing disaster protocols within the civil protection system —based on other countries’
experiences—, creating a database of persons in vulnerable situations (the poorest 40% of the population),
and expanding the coverage of programmes and initiatives to stimulate the local economy and combat
8
malnutrition. Lastly, she stressed the need to coordinate the actions of NGOs to avoid duplication of efforts
and direct social assistance to those in need more efficiently.
28. The representative of Honduras highlighted three aspects: the importance of generating
opportunities to share experiences, especially involving governments, the private sector and civil society;
his interest in learning from the experiences and progress of other countries, ranging from basic social
protection to social and production inclusion; and the importance of improving metrics in preparation
for decision-making.
29. Overall, the delegations agreed with the document’s approach, concurring that reducing inequality
and increasing inclusion were indispensable conditions for a new development model to boost growth in
the region, and emphasizing the importance of early childhood, education and work. Several delegations
underscored the need to improve the monitoring and assessment of programmes, as well as the coordination
between all sectors. Lastly, several countries referred to the consequences of natural disasters in the region.
Review of the document /LQNDJHVEHWZHHQWKHVRFLDODQGSURGXFWLRQVSKHUHVJDSVSLOODUVDQGFKDOOHQJHV
(item 4 of the agenda)
30. Four panels were held under this agenda item, addressing priority issues for social development as
identified in the document presented under agenda item 3.3
31. Panel 1 on “Social policies with a rights-based approach throughout the life cycle”, was chaired by
Cristina Lustemberg, Vice-Minister of Public Health of Uruguay, and moderated by Daniela Bas, Director
of the Division for Social Policy and Development of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of
the United Nations. The speakers in the panel were: Maria do Carmo Brant de Carvalho, National Secretary
for Social Assistance of Brazil; Ana Josefina Güell, Vice-Minister of Human Development and Social
Inclusion of Costa Rica; William Díaz, Director of the International Economic Agencies Department of the
Ministry of Foreign Trade and Foreign Investment of Cuba; Michelle Muschett, Vice-Minister for Social
Development of Panama; Héctor Medina, Deputy Director of the Progress with Solidarity programme of
the Office of the Vice-President of the Dominican Republic and Laura Giannecchini, Institutional
Development Coordinator of the Latin American Campaign for the Right to Education (CLADE).
32. The National Secretary for Social Assistance of Brazil remarked that since 2004 social policies in
her country were focused on a life cycle strategy, placing families at the centre and using a territorial
approach. She also referred to a single register (FDGDVWUR~QLFR), a tool for identifying families in situations
of poverty and vulnerability, as well as to the country’s integrated system of benefits and services based on
a multisectoral design. Among other policies, she cited employment programmes for young people and
others for surrogate and foster families.
33. The Vice-Minister of Human Development and Social Inclusion of Costa Rica stated that her
country’s social policy was based on a human-rights approach that was sensitive to the particularities of
different territories. She referred to the use of the multidimensional poverty index and to the fact that her
country’s change in paradigm in the fight against poverty was reflected, for example, in the use of
technological tools for georeferencing purposes (“social maps”). She also highlighted the creation of a
“single window” for care to enable a coordinated, interdisciplinary, comprehensive and interministerial
social policy, and the establishment of technical discussion circles, to agree upon commitments. The

country’s life cycle approach was illustrated by its national network for childhood, and its adolescence and
youth policies, but she pointed out that they lacked coordination. Finally, she referred to the need to
maintain fiscal discipline and avoid social policies being designed and run with political or party interests
in mind. Instead they should be centred on people and the Sustainable Development Goals.
34. The Director of the International Economic Agencies Department of the Ministry of Foreign Trade
and Foreign Investment of Cuba remarked that social policy was front and centre of his country’s priorities.
He underscored the existence of universal access to health services as a constitutional right, as well as the
advances in education, health and nutrition, but also referred to his country’s challenges to improve
professional teacher training —especially as regards persons with special needs— and regretted the low
level of families’ engagement in their children’s learning.
35. The Deputy Minister for Social Development of Panama began by underscoring the long-term vision
of the State —centred on territoriality and the life cycle— and referred to the imminent launch of an integrated
childhood protection system in her country. She highlighted the implementation of a methodology for the
measurement of the multidimensional poverty index (MPI), as well as a specific metric of childhood poverty
developed with the support of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the Oxford Poverty and Human
Development Initiative (OPHI) and UNDP. She referred to remaining challenges in sexual education and
adolescent pregnancy, quality of education and awareness of changing family structures.
36. The Deputy Director of the Progress with Solidarity Programme of the Office of the Vice-President of
the Dominican Republic referred to that programme —part of the government’s social protection network—
which offered family-income support and provided vocational training for young people and adults, childcare
programmes for under-fives and incentives for school attendance and completion, as well as programmes aimed
at closing the digital gap and the inclusion of persons with disabilities. He pointed to the lack of quality jobs for
young people and skilled adults as remaining challenges for his country.
37. Lastly, the Institutional Development Coordinator of CLADE remarked that the right to education
crystallized all other human rights and that avoiding greater inequality required a transformative form of
education centred on justice and non-discrimination. She highlighted the system developed by CLADE for
monitoring financing for the human right to education, which the Campaign made available through an
online platform.
38. In concluding, the moderator emphasized that peace and rights, including social rights, were the
key building blocks for the full development of children and young people. The Vice-Minister for Social
Development of Panama remarked that the challenge was to act in a coordinated and intersectoral manner.
The Vice-Minister of Human Development and Social Inclusion of Costa Rica suggested that coordinating
policies throughout the life cycle required raising awareness and bringing together initiatives around
concrete topics, reinforcing participation, infrastructure and technology. The representative of the
Uruguayan Institute for Children and Adolescents (INAU) mentioned that her country faced the challenge
of eliminating poverty gaps between children and adolescents and other age groups, and asked participants
in the panel to share specific experiences in that regard.
39. Panel 2 on “The double challenge of social and economic inclusion”, was chaired by Pablo Ferreri,
Vice-Minister of Economy and Finance of Uruguay, and moderated by José Manuel Salazar, Regional Director
for Latin America and the Caribbean of the International Labour Organization (ILO). The speakers on the panel
were: Ernesto Murro, Minister of Labour and Social Security of Uruguay; Elías Jaua, Vice-President for the
Social Area and Minister of the People’s Power for Education of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela;
Stéphanie Auguste, Minister of Social Affairs and Labour of Haiti; Marcos Barraza Gómez, Minister of Social
10
Development of Chile; Catalina Parra, Deputy Director for Poverty Reduction of Social Prosperity of Colombia;
Oliver Arroyo Ramón, Director General of Evaluation and Monitoring of Social Programmes of the Secretariat
of Social Development of Mexico; María Soledad Cisternas, Special Envoy of the
Secretary-General of the United Nations on Disability and Accessibility; and Alejandra Angriman, Leader of
the Argentine Workers’ Central Union (CTA) and member of the Working Women’s Committee of the
Americas (CMTA) of the Trade Union Confederation of the Americas (CSA).
40. Introducing the panel —after the presentation by the Vice-Minister of Economy and Finance of
Uruguay, who underscored the importance of leaving no one behind— the moderator emphasized the
importance of the concept of double inclusion in a framework of sustained growth, with a broad and
diversified base of economic sectors and the creation of decent work. The concepts proposed in the
document /LQNDJHVEHWZHHQWKHVRFLDODQGSURGXFWLRQVSKHUHVJDSVSLOODUVDQGFKDOOHQJHVwere, in his
opinion, closely aligned with those agreed upon by ILO, the Government of Uruguay, employers and
workers, and a virtuous circle had to be created between the social and production spheres.
41. The Minister of Labour and Social Security of Uruguay began by highlighting the notion of social
protection in his country, which was based on coordination among systems, greater levels of spending in
the area and a strong State. He insisted on the importance of dialogue and social participation, and on the
central role of collective bargaining, adding that it was essential to carry out tax reforms, add value to export
products, renew the appeal of democracy and advance with international integration systems (trade
agreements, and social and labour protection of migrants).
42. The Vice-President for the Social Area and Minister of the People’s Power for Education of the
Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela indicated that readings of the inequality index in his country had
improved as a result of the State’s increased social spending, a process which included citizen participation.
He referred to progress in free access to education, reduction of unemployment and mass access to health
care, and stressed that despite the drop in oil prices and threats from violent flashpoints, public expenditure
had not shrunk, and that some social policies —such as those related to housing— had driven the economy
forward.
43. The Minister of Social Affairs and Labour of Haiti drew attention to several programmes in her
country —supported by cooperation agencies and international organizations— aimed at addressing access
to decent work, drinking water and sanitation, the inclusion of persons with disabilities and older adults,
young people, gender quotas, support for early childhood (vaccines and primary education), and
programmes for Haitians in the Dominican Republic.
44. The Minister of Social Development of Chile underlined the relationship between social protection,
inclusion and productivity. He argued against the notion of middle-income countries, insofar as averages
could hide major inequalities, as in the case of Chile. Therefore, development had to be approached from a
multidimensional perspective and with a territorial dimension in mind. He described how Chile’s reforms
in education and labour were leading to a virtuous relationship between social and economic inclusion, but
acknowledged that constitutional change was still needed. Achieving double inclusion required a
combination of economic policies with social and labour policies, as well as models for intervention in
vocational training.
45. The Deputy Director for Poverty Reduction of the Administrative Department of Social Prosperity
of Colombia commented that the multidimensional measurement of poverty carried out in her country since
2010 had allowed it to make policy decisions based on an improved identification of needs (for example,
in early childhood, education and health). She stressed that efforts were under way to achieve double
11
inclusion —recognizing that progress in social inclusion had not been matched in the production sphere—
and insisted on the need to improve information systems to optimize the use of resources and avoid
duplication. Measures that had been effective in Colombia included a network to bring public services
closer to the poorest families and production inclusion projects for indigenous and Afrodescendent
populations.
46. The Director General of Evaluation and Monitoring of Social Programmes of the Secretariat of
Social Development of Mexico remarked that 60% of his country’s population worked in the informal
sector and therefore lacked social security. He highlighted the need to recognize the particular
characteristics of territories and life stages to improve the social and production inclusion of those
populations. He also referred to efforts aimed at universal access to health and education services, and the
need to implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development at the local level to allow central
government measures to flourish. In closing, he underscored the need to flexibilize the labour market and
attract foreign investment.
47. The Special Envoy of the Secretary-General of the United Nations on Disability and Accessibility
stated that accessibility and support services for persons with disabilities were key aspects in the fulfilment
of rights in the spheres of political participation, education, health and family life. She suggested a change
to the following sentence on page 70 of the document /LQNDJHVEHWZHHQWKHVRFLDODQGSURGXFWLRQVSKHUHV
JDSVSLOODUVDQGFKDOOHQJHV“In addition, the possibilities for inclusion in education are largely dependent
on the type and severity of the disability in question”, as inclusion in education could not be dependent on
the degree of disability. She concluded by saying that States needed to be fully aware of their responsibilities
in matters of inclusion.
48. The leader of CTA and member of the Working Women’s Committee of the Americas of CSA, as
well as highlighting the work of the Platform for the Development of the Americas (PLADA) developed
by CSA, stressed that all stakeholders should be convened to the discussion and that it was difficult to
discuss social policies without questioning the current economic model, underscoring the importance of
collective bargaining and the existence of a care system.
49. The representative of the Argentine delegation recalled that, after the crisis of 2001, her country had
established the Social Policy Council as a forum to coordinate interministerial actions related to social policy.
She reaffirmed the importance of discussing the sustainability and territorial rationale of social policies, as
well as the importance of reflecting on the world of work and its future in the global context.
50. In closing, the moderator of the panel indicated that policy continuity and giving due consideration
to the middle classes were both essential. The Chair indicated that the changes in the economic and
technological context demanded adaptive responses through solid institutions, ensuring universal access to
high-quality services, and providing formal, decent and well-paid jobs, productive investment, fiscal
policies, and public goods and services. In combating inequality, he highlighted the importance of achieving
sustained growth and of efficient State action.
51. Panel 3, entitled “Road map for developing public policies on social and economic inclusion”, was
chaired by Edith Moraes, Acting Minister of Education and Culture of Uruguay, and moderated by the
Chief of the Social Development Division of ECLAC. The speakers on the panel were: Julio Bango,
Secretary of the Integrated National Care System of Uruguay; Gabriela Agosto, Executive Secretary of the
National Council for Social Policy Coordination of Argentina; Adrián Augusto Barrera, Secretary for
Higher Education, Science, Technology and Innovation and Presidential Adviser for the Social Sector
Council of Ecuador; Carlos Sáenz, Director-General of Coordination of Government and International
12
Cooperation of the Technical and Planning Secretariat of the Office of the President of El Salvador; Vicenta
Camusso, Coordinator of the Network of Afro-Latin American, Afro-Caribbean and Diaspora Women; and
Andrés Morales, Social and Human Sciences Specialist for Latin America and the Caribbean of the United
Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
52. The moderator opened the panel discussion by stating that achieving the Sustainable Development
Goals required responding to a series of challenges: deepening labour inclusion, strengthening institutions
(coordinating public policies, metrics and financing) and working towards political and fiscal feasibility
(reaching consensus, participation and compacts).
53. The Secretary of the Integrated National Care System of Uruguay stated that double inclusion
would be possible only if other inequalities, aside from that of income, were addressed. He remarked that
poverty and inequality in his country had been reduced through social investment and, among other things,
the commitment to a national system of care that included children, persons with disabilities and older
persons. That fourth pillar of social protection allowed those who wanted to work to do so, thus generating
the necessary resources to distribute social wealth and to allow children to fully develop and reach the
productivity levels needed for the future.
54. The Executive Secretary of the National Council for Social Policy Coordination of Argentina stated
that labour inclusion no longer guaranteed overcoming vulnerability and poverty, insofar as the labour
market was being shaped by new demands and technological changes. She referred to a development and
technology investment fund in her country that sought to increase business productivity and create quality
jobs, as well as promoting new capacities and an inclusive form of development. She also highlighted the
importance of strengthening institutions through an intersectoral approach, achieving vertical and
horizontal integration, and taking advantage of available information to monitor and define strategies
around the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. She concluded by saying that regional cooperation
was critical to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
55. The Secretary for Higher Education, Science, Technology and Innovation and Presidential Adviser
for the Social Sector Council of Ecuador stated that his country had expanded coverage through a
development plan that placed the economy at the service of society, with a vision of more society and less
State, greater levels of participation, and an intersectoral and interdisciplinary perspective which supported
the 7RGDXQD9LGD Plan, centred on the entire life cycle (early childhood, young and older persons: nutrition,
support, housing) and on territories. All that implied challenges in intersectoral coordination, financing and
achieving a smarter bureaucracy. In closing, he underscored the importance of capacity-building, not only
in technical areas but also in the socioemotional sphere.
56. The Director-General of Coordination of Government and International Cooperation of the Technical
and Planning Secretariat of the Office of the President of El Salvador remarked that his country had made
substantial efforts to recover the State, for and with the citizenship. He stated that, thanks to the support of
ECLAC and international cooperation, his country had unified its regulatory system (the Universal Social
Protection Act) under the coordinating role of the Technical and Planning Secretariat, and went on to inform
that management mechanisms to follow up and monitor programmes had been strengthened, covering public
safety, teacher training, early education and school retention, as well as a programme to overcome poverty,
with an emphasis on productive inclusion. He expressed the importance of delivering quality services,
building a new fiscal framework to guarantee sustainability, and securing the commitment of business owners,
citizens and ministries. Adding that El Salvador had established a single registry of participants, he stressed
the need to acknowledge changes to the social landscape resulting from migration and violence, and that both
should be taken into account when designing policies.

57. The Coordinator of the Network of Afro-Latin American, Afro-Caribbean and Diaspora Women
focused on the lack of data on Afrodescendants. She stated that poverty in the region was of a certain colour,
and that racial variables had not been clearly incorporated into the Sustainable Development Goals, thus
making it difficult to follow up on those matters. Lastly, she expressed the importance of reflecting on the
tools, strategies and actions that would allow progress towards a form of universalism sensitive to difference
and inequality.
58. The Social and Human Sciences Specialist for Latin America and the Caribbean of UNESCO
referred to the challenges of coordinating and designing public policies as described in the document and
stressed the contributions of the UNESCO Management of Social Transformations (MOST) programme,
which makes public policy recommendations based on an intersectoral and interdisciplinary perspective so
as to improve and strengthen the interaction mechanisms between stakeholders, communication channels,
and national and international information flows.
59. During the time set aside for comments, the representative of Costa Rica drew attention to her
country’s digital development strategy —linked to its social inclusion efforts— and to the importance of
adopting a risk management approach to face natural disasters. The representative of Argentina agreed that
cultural aspects and Afrodescendent affairs should be highlighted in the framework of the 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development. The Chair referred to the importance of accessing information provided through
new technologies in order to design systems to identify, locate and characterize populations, and to design
and monitor the policies implemented. Closing, she said that in the context of the Sustainable Development
Goals inequality could be seen as the point of departure, equality as the point of arrival, and equity as the
strategy.
Social achievements attuned with sustainability (agenda item 5)
60. Panel 4 on “Social achievements attuned with sustainability”, was chaired by Guillermo Moncecchi,
Acting Minister of Industry, Energy and Mining of Uruguay, and moderated by George Gray Molina, Chief
Economist, Regional Bureau for Latin America and the Caribbean of UNDP. Panel participants were: Santiago
Soto, Deputy Director of the Office of Planning and the Budget of Uruguay; Miguel Ángel Moir, Secretary for
Planning and Programming of the Office of the President of Guatemala (SEGEPLAN) of Guatemala; Oliver
Arroyo Ramón, Director General of Evaluation and Monitoring of Social Programmes of the Secretariat of
Social Development of Mexico; Héctor Medina, Deputy Director of the Progress with Solidarity Programme of
the Office of the Vice-President of the Dominican Republic; Emiliano R. Fernández, Vice-Minister for Poverty
Alleviation and Social Development of the Technical Secretariat of Planning for Economic and Social
Development of Paraguay; and Elsa Servellón, Director of the National Social Sector Information Centre
(CENISS) of Honduras.
61. Introducing the panel, the Acting Minister of Industry, Energy and Mining of Uruguay stressed his
government’s interest in unifying the social and productive agendas. The moderator contextualized the
discussion highlighting that, at a time of economic slowdown and in the framework of the 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development, public policy should adopt a territorial approach, build a fiscal agenda based on
long-term political compacts and develop georeferenced and real-time data. He opened the floor proposing
that Latin America’s challenge was to accept the invitation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development to implement structural transformations in the social, economic and environmental spheres.
62. The Deputy Director of the Office of Planning and Budget of Uruguay recalled that reducing
poverty and inequality in his country had required structural transformations, a doubling of output, the
14
introduction of a universal healthcare system and a system for transfers to poor families, as well as a tax
reform. He said that all that was the result of decisions made during an economic upturn, but there was still
work to be done to standardize those results across the whole country and to consolidate the fiscal position
in order to withstand a long downturn and meet the institutional challenge of improving intersectoral
coordination.
63. The Secretary for Planning and Programming of SEGEPLAN of Guatemala spoke about the three
mechanisms implemented in his country: a strategy to coordinate the follow-up to the 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development; a national system of social and economic development councils to consolidate
the intersectoral approach and carry out improved planning and information management exercises; and,
the development by the Ministry of Public Finances of fiscal microsimulation exercises in areas such as
food security and public safety.
64. The Director General of Evaluation and Monitoring of Social Programmes of the Secretariat of
Social Development of Mexico presented the “Inclusive Mexico” strategy —part of the National
Development Plan— and spoke of other advances, including the creation of formal jobs, the implementation
of productive projects and initiatives to combat nutritional deficiencies, certify skills and coordinate social
programmes with employment exchange services, and other initiatives to provide care and support to older
persons. He also stressed the importance of actions that were relevant to the country and of the need for a
protocol to be followed by all relevant institutions in the event of a natural disaster in order to provide more
appropriate care.
65. The Deputy Director of the Progress with Solidarity Programme of the Office of the Vice-President of
the Dominican Republic said that his country had set up a High-level Inter-Agency Commission for Sustainable
Development, which among other things had established a follow-up system for the implementation of the
Sustainable Development Goals using technologies that had allowed information to be gathered from 80% of
the population. That data had been used to develop indicators to improve the planning and follow-up of
implemented policies. Indices on quality of life and vulnerability to environmental shocks had been developed,
the latter was important for facing the challenges of natural disasters.
66. The Vice-Minister for Poverty Alleviation and Social Development of the Technical Secretariat of
Planning for Economic and Social Development of Paraguay said that, in terms of sustainability, the market
had played a fundamental role together with public policies in his country’s development strategy. A
number of programmes, based on georeferenced information, had been developed to promote inclusion,
including the 7HNRSRUm, the food assistance for older adults and 6HPEUDQGR2SRUWXQLGDGHV programmes,
and the )DPLOLDSRU)DPLOLD initiative.
67. The Director of CENISS of Honduras shared details of the institution she represented and spoke
about the Unified Registry of Participants (RUP), which gathered social information and household
descriptions that could be validated and monitored to respond to families’ needs. Both RUP and the
Institutional Supply Registry (ROI) were examples of georeferenced information tools that helped to
identify gaps in the areas of health, education and work, and to monitor programme compliance. To analyse
families’ needs and guide decision-making in that regard, solid statistical systems were needed that
incorporated disaggregated socio-spatial data.
68. In the ensuing discussions, the moderator referred to the many innovative initiatives mentioned and
said that, in all likelihood, the region would develop a series of mechanisms linking the short and long term,
rather than a grand development plan. Accordingly, the region needed a narrative to communicate how the
Goals would be achieved by 2030, through joint efforts to address gaps that would bring about changes in
power relationships, institutions and culture. The Regional Director for Latin America and the Caribbean
15
of UNDP said that the meaning of the ideas of multidimensionality, territoriality, reformulation of
institutions and interconnectivity, among others, must be clarified, since the presentations by the vast
majority of the countries had touched on some of those concepts. She added that it was crucial to invest in
young people, educational quality and employability.
69. Lastly, the Acting Minister of Industry, Energy and Mining of Uruguay said that the countries’
presentations demonstrated their willingness to move forward in a sustainable manner. In such rapidly
changing times countries must assess their realities, adjust their decisions and review the relevance of tools
used in the light of a commonly-agreed long-term goal. In his view, the Sustainable Development Goals
guided each policy action within the framework of the 2030 Agenda, which was the long-term strategy.
Other matters (agenda item 6)
70. In a special statement, the President of the National Association of Non-Governmental
Organisations for Development (ANONG) and a representative of the Good Shepherd organization in
Nicaragua read a declaration by civil society, which is included in annex 2 to this report.
Consideration and adoption of agreements (agenda item 7)
71. The member States of the Regional Conference on Social Development in Latin America and the
Caribbean adopted the resolution, which appears in annex 1 to this report.

72. In the closing session, statements were made by Laís Abramo, Chief of the Social Development
Division of ECLAC; Jessica Faieta, Regional Director for Latin America and the Caribbean of UNPD; and
Marina Arismendi, Minister of Social Development of Uruguay.
73. The Chief of the Social Development Division of ECLAC said that the Conference had been
organized in conjunction with the Government of Uruguay, UNDP and other United Nations agencies. She
welcomed the meeting organized by civil society and noted the interest in continuing efforts to build up a
regional network to work on the issues discussed. She said that the document presented was intended to be
a contribution to the discussion on the challenges faced by the countries of the region to achieve double
inclusion and, thus, consolidate progress and avoid backsliding with regard to poverty and inequality. The
culture of privilege must be broken down and steps taken towards creating a culture of equality, taking into
account the inequality matrix and systematically generating data, statistics and indicators. She expressed
concern about the impact that technological changes, complex global value chains, environmental
challenges and demographic trends (such as migration and population ageing) were having on the world of
work. Lastly, she said that the impact of social policies was not confined to the social sphere, the effects
were also felt in the areas of the economy, production and the environment, those policies must therefore
be linked.
74. The Regional Director for Latin America and the Caribbean of UNDP thanked the Government of
Uruguay for its hospitality and the countries for generously sharing their experiences. She welcomed the
contribution of civil society to the meeting and said that the event had been a valuable learning experience,
not only for the countries, but also for the organizations that had come to lend their support. She called on
all those present to participate in the next joint meeting of the Presiding Officers of the Conference and the
16
tenth Ministerial Forum for Development in Latin America and the Caribbean, which would be organized
by UNDP in Panama.
75. In closing, the Minister of Social Development of Uruguay commended the joint efforts undertaken
to organize the event. She noted the institutional lessons learned and welcomed the consolidation of the
Conference as a social forum. She congratulated ECLAC on the document presented and referred to the
creation of forums for coordinating the efforts of different ministries in her country, in the framework of
both the Conference and the round table discussions. She confirmed that the Government of Uruguay would
honour its commitments to take steps to define a regional agenda for inclusive social development, as stated
in paragraph 11 of the resolution.

The civil society organizations participating in this Conference state the following:
In the framework of the emergence of the economic and social development paradigm expressed in the
Sustainable Development Goals, which is currently a global commitment to leave no one behind, we
reaffirm the importance of human rights, fairness, justice and social solidarity as guiding principles.
We recognize the importance of the commitments signed by our governments to achieve these Goals, and
considering that the States are responsible for creating and guaranteeing the conditions needed, as civil
society organizations we reaffirm our commitment to ensuring that the maximum efforts are made in each
of our countries to achieve them.
In recent decades, we have seen some progress in socioeconomic indicators, which have led some of our
countries to be classified as medium- or high-income developing countries. However, we underscore the
fact that economic and social development in Latin America and the Caribbean continues to reflect the
historical exploitation of natural resources and human beings, which leads to marginalization, exclusion,
migration, and working and living conditions at odds with dignity and basic decency. While some economic
and social achievements and advances have been made in some countries, there is still much to be done to
integrate those population groups that, historically and socially, have been left behind, owing to the
persistent violation of their rights and the lack of opportunities. Greater output and wealth creation in our
economies in recent decades continues to benefit mainly large global economic centres and some small
groups within countries, and scarcely reaches the poorest households in the region. The relative
improvement in the income of these households has led to higher consumption of products, but has had
little impact on families living conditions. Our region still has the highest levels of economic inequality,
which means that global gender, generational and ethnic and racial gaps become wider.
We are witnessing the expansion of a globalizing cultural model that has established a set of values and
practices in line with the existing economic and political models, and that is widening the gaps between
countries, societies and citizens in situations of poverty or wealth, inclusion or exclusion, and with or
without opportunities to work and live in dignity. This model prioritizes the production and consumption
of goods, and obscures and endangers cultural diversity and social reproduction, failing to recognize that
without the latter, economic production is impossible.
The territorial concentration of wealth and of poverty is also expressed in changes in urban design,
undermining social integration and the democratization of public spaces.
There are more people living in poverty today, mainly children, adolescents, women, persons with
disabilities and ethnic and racial minority groups. The gap in access to knowledge is widening, territorial
segmentation is worsening and educational segregation is exacerbating inequalities. We live in a time of
profound global cultural change, driven by a market economy that imposes its rules on all human activities,
28
including culture and education, in which States have not been very successful in implementing new
policies to change the status quo. We emphasize the historical contribution of civil society organizations to
reducing these inequalities.
Education, which is shaped by a narrow view of quality, does not address the demands of students, and thus
excludes them from education systems. Standardized tests are unable to evaluate the quality of systems and
fail to take into account local diversity and contexts. The education that we want and need should be
emancipatory and transformative, respect human dignity, overcome the multiple forms of discrimination
and violence, and promote the full exercise of all human rights.
Large areas lack services, resulting in serious health and ecological problems, and basic infrastructure,
which undermines links with the world of work and weakens social interactions that provide value, a sense
of belonging, protection and access to societys cultural and spiritual riches. It is impossible to consider
self-generated territorial development processes without taking into account the objective conditions
defined outside the territory and ignoring the local reality.
Social exclusion is not only a problem for persons left behind by these systems; on the contrary, it concerns
society as a whole, not just economically, but also in terms of the ethical and political need for social
inclusion of broad sectors of the Latin American population.
The conditions of poverty and absence of the State in rural and peripheral areas in many of the regions
countries violate the rights of people who are victims of labour exploitation and trafficking for the sex and
drug trades.
The persistence of the feminist struggle and womens movements has led to significant achievements, both
symbolic and cultural, on the work and social fronts, as well as in daily life in households and in gender
relations. The size and diversity of this movement was reflected in the citizen mobilization on 8 March in
a number of cities and towns in the region and in protests against gender-based violence, with organizations
focusing on efforts to secure legislation to combat femicide and violence against women and to advance
sexual and reproductive rights for all.
The development of the personal integrity of the individual as a rights-holder and a social, political and
historical being is a complex process of achieving autonomy, especially for persons with disabilities. As
individuals concerned about their future and social and historical reality, their ability to make an impact
must be constantly strengthened in order to exercise and defend their rights, including the power to make
decisions, control material resources and participate socially and politically, with no exceptions.
Countries around the world are experiencing an emergence of old and new xenophobic, androcentric, patriarchal
and racist rhetoric and practices that directly affect native, Afrodescendent, mestizo and immigrant communities,
who continue to suffer from discrimination and violation of their fundamental rights.
The situations of inequality and exclusion that continue to affect indigenous and Afrodescendent peoples
all over the continent must be included in the agenda of social and economic development policies.
In our region, despite the democratic progress made socially and politically, the lack of mechanisms for
transparency and accountability, oversight and democratic governance, continues to pave the way for
corrupt practices in State institutions and public companies. Tax evasion, informal work and insufficient
policies to address the labour, food, education, health and housing needs of the population, still characterize
our societies and directly affect national economies.
29
Because of our vocation and commitment to human development and to the people and organizations
participating in this Conference, we reaffirm the legitimacy of organized civil society as an interlocutor in
public policy processes and we call for greater opportunities to participate freely.
We demand of the governments of our region:
• Full enjoyment of human rights in all our societies, affirmed in State policies, for all people.
• Economic and financial policies consistent with human rights, in terms of inclusion,
complementarity, cooperation, productive and economic integration, social redistribution of
earnings, with follow-up, transparency and public reporting.
• A sustainable development model which prioritizes justice, fairness and solidarity, in which human
beings are the central concern, live in harmony with nature, and follow the concept of living well
of indigenous peoples.
• Mechanisms to overcome tax evasion and for tax justice that provide sufficient financing for social
policies, particularly education, in order to reduce inequalities.
• Monitoring, inspection and public reporting which is timely and reflects the necessary clarity at all
levels of government, in light of economic decisions involving the use of natural resources.
• The creation of conditions for shared responsibility and redistribution of efforts required for social
reproduction, including domestic and care work and the cost of time and of monetary, natural and
human resources, so that the workload is no longer shouldered primarily by women.
• The creation and accessibility of good-quality services in public health, secular, free and inclusive
education, food, housing and culture, for all persons living in our societies, and in particular, that
provide adequate care for the groups that are most vulnerable and have the least resources.
• Investment in childhood and adolescence as an unavoidable priority for a sustainably built society.
• The guarantee of decent and dignifying work and income for all, equal rights, labour responsibilities
and conditions without discrimination (on the basis of disability, ethnicity, nationality, sexual
orientation and gender identity, and age).
• The establishment of a social protection floor as a key instrument to achieve equality, a fundamental
target of global development.
• Promotion of a culture of democratic and participatory governance, at all institutional and social
levels, by requiring State institutions and services to operate in accordance with the principles of
transparency, equal rights and services for all, and management accountability.
• We consider an education for a decent life based on trust and ethical commitment among
stakeholders possible and necessary. This education should provide opportunities to develop and
optimize peoples ability to solve specific problems, and value everyday experiences, creativity and
innovation, happiness and cheerfulness. It should recognize in each person a complete, unique and
complex being, able to cultivate his or her physical, emotional, mental and spiritual sides, and who
learns to live freely and practice tolerance, solidarity, justice, non-violence and mutual assistance,
in short, someone who enjoys their human rights fully.
30
• Support for the development and visibility of the social and solidarity economy, in all its
cooperative, associative and self-managing aspects, as an alternative form of production and
distribution, responsible financing and consumption; this economy should provide development
solutions to existing social, economic and environmental problems, in addition to contributing to
food security and healthy diets, gender equality and care for the environment.
• Adoption, by the governments that have not already done so, of the Inter-American Convention on
Protecting the Human Rights of Older Persons.
As civil society organizations we call on the governments and States of Latin America and the Caribbean
to show their commitment and collective efforts to:
• Recognize the right to participation, freedom of association and expression, including of children,
adolescents and young people, overcoming the growing tendency to criminalize activists, social
movements, human rights defenders, students and teachers.
• Consider civil society organizations as relevant actors in the collective building of our societies,
enabling their legitimate, responsible, necessary and relevant participation in the implementation
of public policies, on the basis of agreements with clear rules and fair and equitable laws.
• Strengthen the capacities of civil society organizations to influence, monitor and demand
accountability from the State, in order to mainstream human rights, gender, generational, ethnicity
and race, disability, sexual diversity and older persons perspectives into social policies, in particular
the perspectives of groups that are not heard and need it most.
• Strengthen and develop the network of organizations that make up the associative universe, with
specific resources that make it viable and sustainable, building creative and innovative capacities.
This means that resources must be available, accessible and bolstered, and should be focused on
the development and institutional strengthening of social organizations. Similarly, they should
address human resource development; research; knowledge creation; management strengthening;
institutional transparency; capacity for reporting, communication and advocacy; and the
improvement of regulatory frameworks that regulate and promote organizations activities.
Our approach and proactive and constructive role means that civil society organizations are committed to
contributing to and demanding the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and their proposed
targets. We will participate in all international conferences, and urge all Latin American and Caribbean
States to commit to ensuring that these spaces and the necessary resources are available, and to organizing
meetings at reasonable times and with no exclusions.
We call on governments, States, civil society organizations and movements and international agencies to
commit —with full freedom of thought, opinion and expression— to uphold the right to information and
democratic and transparent communication in our countries. We are promoters of dialogue and collective
advancement.

C. SUMMARY OF PROCEEDINGS
Opening session
9. The opening session was addressed by Alicia Bárcena, Executive Secretary of the Economic
Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC); Jessica Faieta, Regional Director for
Latin America and the Caribbean of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP); Marina
Arismendi, Minister of Social Development of Uruguay and Rodolfo Nin Novoa, Minister for Foreign
Affairs of Uruguay.
10. The Executive Secretary of ECLAC thanked the Government of Uruguay for its hospitality and
highlighted that country’s early commitment to social development and equality; she stated that ECLAC
shared Uruguay’s life cycle approach as well as its vision that poverty reduction policies were not enough
to achieve a more egalitarian society, and that it was necessary to build a system which could guarantee
greater levels of well-being for the entire population. The Executive Secretary stressed that social issues
were not played out in the social sphere alone and that a virtuous coordination with the economic,
production and environmental areas was required, referring to social development as an investment that
5
yielded positive returns for economic growth and environmental protection: growth for equality, equality
for growth. Lastly, she added that ECLAC viewed inequality as heavily conditioned by both the
production matrix and the culture of privilege that characterized the region, and that it was time to leave
that culture behind and transition to a culture of equality.
11. After expressing her satisfaction with the inter-agency cooperation efforts between ECLAC and the
United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in organizing the Conference, the Regional Director for
Latin America and the Caribbean of UNDP referred to the achievements and remaining challenges
described in the Regional Human Development Report for Latin America and the Caribbean 2016 prepared
by the organization. She recalled that more than a third of the population of Latin America and the
Caribbean remained economically vulnerable and that the hard core of exclusion could not be solved by
with economic growth alone, but rather required inclusion, non-discrimination and affirmative action
policies. She referred to the support provided to countries by UNDP in the implementation of the Report’s
recommendations, the deepening of knowledge to continue progressing in the implementation of the
2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and the creation of roadmaps to assist countries with
implementation, through its Mainstreaming, Acceleration and Policy Support (MAPS) strategy applied on
the basis of each country’s development priorities.
12. The Minister of Social Development of Uruguay stated that, despite social achievements in her
country, much work remained to advance equality, and highlighted the importance of safeguarding
progress and avoiding setbacks. She underscored the need to strengthen social protection systems and
cited the country’s integrated national care system, Uruguay’s main social protection pillar that engaged
different sectors and ministries based on the notion of care as a right. In light of the current state of affairs
in Uruguay, the region and the world in general, she described multigenerational solidarity as a necessity,
together with an inter-agency approach on the part of governments, not only to care for people, but also to
ensure their inclusion and the full exercise of their rights. She concluded by calling on countries to share
their experiences and work together so that all members of society —today’s and tomorrow’s
generations— in all their diversity, could have the same rights.
13. Lastly, after saying that it was an honour for Uruguay to host the second session of the Regional
Conference on Social Development, the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Uruguay stressed that social
inclusion was a core aspect of development in the country and the region, and recalled that it was a
priority established in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. He referred to Uruguay’s efforts to
reduce social gaps, by tackling poverty in a comprehensive manner and mainstreaming social policies and
their sustainability. As well as its integrated national care system, Uruguay had made progress in digital
inclusion and social dialogue, which engaged civil society in the government’s social agenda. To
conclude, he ratified Uruguay’s commitment to overcoming inequality and commended the countries’
efforts to participate in meetings with those goals in mind, inasmuch as cooperation and the exchange of
experiences were critical for continued progress towards greater equality in the region.
Presentation of the document Linkages between the social and production spheres: gaps, pillars and
challenges (agenda item 3)
14. The Executive Secretary of ECLAC presented the document Linkages between the social and
production spheres: gaps, pillars and challenges.2 She referred to a change of era taking place,
characterized by six main elements: the decoupling of the real economy from the financial sphere, with
growing financialization and concentration in financial assets; significant geopolitical changes, including
2 LC/CDS.2/3.
6
the situation in China, the United States and Europe; growing inequality, as illustrated by the concentration of
most of global wealth in the hands of only eight individuals; the migration of 30 million people in the region,
of which almost 50% were undocumented; the industrial and technological revolution, and stagnation of global
and regional growth and the tendency to invest in growth “at all costs,” which signalled the need to guarantee
sustainability and reverse inequality. In that framework, she explained that the document’s proposals included
linking competitiveness with decent, good-quality employment, breaking up the inequality pipeline, reducing
stubborn poverty and facilitating the transition from education to employment.
15. Fiorella Molinelli, Minister of Development and Social Inclusion of Peru, said that the document
represented a call to address the current economic situation and that it posed interesting challenges. She
highlighted the need to position equality at the centre of sustainable development and to address
inequality through a multidimensional approach, with comprehensive and coordinated policies that took
the social footprint of development into account. She emphasized the notion of social public spending,
combined with the distribution and oversight roles of States equipped with enhanced information systems.
Her Ministry had advanced in reducing both poverty and extreme poverty, and in providing equal access
to basic services, paying special attention to early childhood development, with a particular focus on
chronic undernutrition and anaemia. Lastly, she mentioned that Peru’s efforts were based on the maxim of
“leaving no one behind” and that the country was preparing to join the Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development (OECD) in 2021.
16. Next, the Minister of Social Development of Uruguay stated that the Government of Uruguay
agreed with the document’s central thesis of putting equality at the centre of sustainable development, and
stressed that progress in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals would be possible only through
joint coordination. Considering that childhood, adolescence and youth were the age groups that suffered
the greatest levels of exclusion, her Ministry considered it essential to reinforce the notion that everyone
had the same rights, and that education and quality of learning were key. In closing, she referred to the
need to work towards the eradication of the culture of privilege.
17. The floor was then given to the country representatives.
18. The representative of Argentina highlighted the document’s key concepts for working on social
policy and its acknowledgement of what countries had achieved overall, in particular regarding
multidimensional poverty. Argentina had designed social policies aimed at the provision of a minimum
income, and had brought those transfers into line with formal employment in an effort to end the myth
that they could discourage job-seeking. She identified two pillars of social policies in her country —equal
opportunities and the focus on early childhood— as well as proposing that financial inclusion was
essential for development, and that awareness was growing in economic spheres of the importance of
linking their economic actions with those of the social sphere.
19. The representative of Cuba expressed the opinion that policies in Latin America and the
Caribbean had not been geared towards social development, which was confirmed by the projections on
the region’s vulnerability. He stressed that reducing inequality remained an essential condition for a world
free of poverty, and that progress made should be safeguarded by further expanding inclusive social
development policies. Cuba’s policies were people-centred, and the country continued to make progress
along the path of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, despite the embargo against the country.
20. The representative of the Dominican Republic said that the document highlighted the warnings
and reflections that required attention to keep development moving forward in the region.
7
21. The representative of Colombia stated that her country approached inclusion from a
multidimensional perspective; in her opinion, regional and global agendas had to align with the
2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, as that would lead to more sustainable and efficient use of
resources. Progress could be made by changing traditional work systems and improving monitoring and
assessment mechanisms. The representative concluded by saying that the peace agreement in Colombia,
aided by the experiences of other countries, offered an opportunity to overcome poverty in rural areas and
to generate greater equality, and that —together with reaching the Sustainable Development Goals—
convening all of society to achieve peace represented one of the country’s greatest challenges.
22. The representative of Panama reflected on the use of the term equality instead of equity. She
drew attention to the role and approach of the private sector in her country and argued that social
development would not occur as a natural consequence of economic growth and that the rationale must
therefore be inverted: inclusion had to be achieved to enable growth. She pointed out that corruption was
a reflection of the culture of privilege and that all sectors needed to be included in the advancement of
early childhood policies.
23. The representative of Costa Rica stated that the report was both a portrait and a challenge for the
region’s countries and that efforts had to be redoubled for progress to continue. She reiterated that social
issues were not played out in the social sphere alone and that work in isolation was no longer an option:
efforts must be coordinated. In her opinion, the qualitative leap would occur when policies centred on
people, not on numbers. Lastly, she expressed the urgent need to eliminate the culture of privilege.
24. The representative of Brazil expressed concern over the low level of productivity and the
persistent investment in unsustainable growth, when the priority should be eradicating poverty and
inequality. She regretted that —despite all of the countries implementing similar programmes— work and
education inclusion had yet to be guaranteed for younger generations.
25. The representative of Ecuador identified with the document’s content and approach and said that
his country had developed a model of care —the Toda una Vida plan— which covered the entire life
cycle. He insisted that social programmes required the adoption of redistributive fiscal policies, and that
innovations were needed to build on previous achievements and avoid setbacks.
26. The representative of Mexico stressed that the gaps identified clearly reflected rigidities in the
labour market and in the economic policies of recent decades. Inclusive development was linked to
regional dynamics; thus, it was necessary to reflect on developments in regions that had become part of
broader value chains, and by doing so had developed their capacities and improved their income and job
opportunities. Accordingly, skills certification was essential to involve more of the population in progress
and galvanize the economy. Lastly, he referred to the need for policies in response to earthquakes and
hurricanes, whose impacts tended to be worst in poorer areas.
27. The representative of Haiti recalled the destructive and socially adverse impact of natural and
climate-related disasters in her country; the assistance received to repair damages accounted for only 15% of
requirements and work was being executed by non-governmental organizations (NGOs), which limited the
government’s scope of action. She regretted the loss that the mass emigration of young people represented
for the Dominican Republic, and stressed the urgent need for incentives to encourage that age group to stay
in the country or return. She listed a number of actions her country had undertaken in relation to social
challenges, which included reviewing disaster protocols within the civil protection system —based on other
countries’ experiences—, creating a database of persons in vulnerable situations (the poorest 40% of the
population), and expanding the coverage of programmes and initiatives to stimulate the local economy and
8
combat malnutrition. Lastly, she stressed the need to coordinate the actions of NGOs to avoid duplication of
efforts and direct social assistance to those in need more efficiently.
28. The representative of Honduras highlighted three aspects: the importance of generating
opportunities to share experiences, especially involving governments, the private sector and civil society;
his interest in learning from the experiences and progress of other countries, ranging from basic social
protection to social and production inclusion; and the importance of improving metrics in preparation
for decision-making.
29. Overall, the delegations agreed with the document’s approach, concurring that reducing
inequality and increasing inclusion were indispensable conditions for a new development model to boost
growth in the region, and emphasizing the importance of early childhood, education and work. Several
delegations underscored the need to improve the monitoring and assessment of programmes, as well as
the coordination between all sectors. Lastly, several countries referred to the consequences of natural
disasters in the region.
Review of the document Linkages between the social and production spheres: gaps, pillars and challenges
(item 4 of the agenda)
30. Four panels were held under this agenda item, addressing priority issues for social development
as identified in the document presented under agenda item 3.3
31. Panel 1 on “Social policies with a rights-based approach throughout the life cycle”, was chaired
by Cristina Lustemberg, Vice-Minister of Public Health of Uruguay, and moderated by Daniela Bas,
Director of the Division for Social Policy and Development of the Department of Economic and Social
Affairs of the United Nations. The speakers in the panel were: Maria do Carmo Brant de Carvalho,
National Secretary for Social Assistance of Brazil; Ana Josefina Güell, Vice-Minister of Human
Development and Social Inclusion of Costa Rica; William Díaz, Director of the International Economic
Agencies Department of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Foreign Investment of Cuba; Michelle
Muschett, Vice-Minister for Social Development of Panama; Héctor Medina, Deputy Director of the
Progress with Solidarity programme of the Office of the Vice-President of the Dominican Republic and
Laura Giannecchini, Institutional Development Coordinator of the Latin American Campaign for the
Right to Education (CLADE).
32. The National Secretary for Social Assistance of Brazil remarked that since 2004 social policies in
her country were focused on a life cycle strategy, placing families at the centre and using a territorial
approach. She also referred to a single register (cadastro único), a tool for identifying families in
situations of poverty and vulnerability, as well as to the country’s integrated system of benefits and
services based on a multisectoral design. Among other policies, she cited employment programmes for
young people and others for surrogate and foster families.
33. The Vice-Minister of Human Development and Social Inclusion of Costa Rica stated that her
country’s social policy was based on a human-rights approach that was sensitive to the particularities of
different territories. She referred to the use of the multidimensional poverty index and to the fact that her
country’s change in paradigm in the fight against poverty was reflected, for example, in the use of
technological tools for georeferencing purposes (“social maps”). She also highlighted the creation of a

9
“single window” for care to enable a coordinated, interdisciplinary, comprehensive and interministerial
social policy, and the establishment of technical discussion circles, to agree upon commitments. The
country’s life cycle approach was illustrated by its national network for childhood, and its adolescence
and youth policies, but she pointed out that they lacked coordination. Finally, she referred to the need to
maintain fiscal discipline and avoid social policies being designed and run with political or party interests
in mind. Instead they should be centred on people and the Sustainable Development Goals.
34. The Director of the International Economic Agencies Department of the Ministry of Foreign
Trade and Foreign Investment of Cuba remarked that social policy was front and centre of his country’s
priorities. He underscored the existence of universal access to health services as a constitutional right, as
well as the advances in education, health and nutrition, but also referred to his country’s challenges to
improve professional teacher training —especially as regards persons with special needs— and regretted
the low level of families’ engagement in their children’s learning.
35. The Deputy Minister for Social Development of Panama began by underscoring the long-term
vision of the State —centred on territoriality and the life cycle— and referred to the imminent launch of an
integrated childhood protection system in her country. She highlighted the implementation of a
methodology for the measurement of the multidimensional poverty index (MPI), as well as a specific metric
of childhood poverty developed with the support of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the
Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) and UNDP. She referred to remaining
challenges in sexual education and adolescent pregnancy, quality of education and awareness of changing
family structures.
36. The Deputy Director of the Progress with Solidarity Programme of the Office of the Vice-President of
the Dominican Republic referred to that programme —part of the government’s social protection network—
which offered family-income support and provided vocational training for young people and adults, childcare
programmes for under-fives and incentives for school attendance and completion, as well as programmes
aimed at closing the digital gap and the inclusion of persons with disabilities. He pointed to the lack of quality
jobs for young people and skilled adults as remaining challenges for his country.
37. Lastly, the Institutional Development Coordinator of CLADE remarked that the right to education
crystallized all other human rights and that avoiding greater inequality required a transformative form of
education centred on justice and non-discrimination. She highlighted the system developed by CLADE
for monitoring financing for the human right to education, which the Campaign made available through
an online platform.
38. In concluding, the moderator emphasized that peace and rights, including social rights, were the
key building blocks for the full development of children and young people. The Vice-Minister for Social
Development of Panama remarked that the challenge was to act in a coordinated and intersectoral manner.
The Vice-Minister of Human Development and Social Inclusion of Costa Rica suggested that
coordinating policies throughout the life cycle required raising awareness and bringing together initiatives
around concrete topics, reinforcing participation, infrastructure and technology. The representative of the
Uruguayan Institute for Children and Adolescents (INAU) mentioned that her country faced the challenge
of eliminating poverty gaps between children and adolescents and other age groups, and asked
participants in the panel to share specific experiences in that regard.
39. Panel 2 on “The double challenge of social and economic inclusion”, was chaired by Pablo Ferreri,
Vice-Minister of Economy and Finance of Uruguay, and moderated by José Manuel Salazar, Regional
Director for Latin America and the Caribbean of the International Labour Organization (ILO). The speakers on
10
the panel were: Ernesto Murro, Minister of Labour and Social Security of Uruguay; Elías Jaua, Vice-President
for the Social Area and Minister of the People’s Power for Education of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela;
Stéphanie Auguste, Minister of Social Affairs and Labour of Haiti; Marcos Barraza Gómez, Minister of Social
Development of Chile; Catalina Parra, Deputy Director for Poverty Reduction of Social Prosperity of
Colombia; Oliver Arroyo Ramón, Director General of Evaluation and Monitoring of Social Programmes of the
Secretariat of Social Development of Mexico; María Soledad Cisternas, Special Envoy of the
Secretary-General of the United Nations on Disability and Accessibility; and Alejandra Angriman, Leader of
the Argentine Workers’ Central Union (CTA) and member of the Working Women’s Committee of the
Americas (CMTA) of the Trade Union Confederation of the Americas (CSA).
40. Introducing the panel —after the presentation by the Vice-Minister of Economy and Finance of
Uruguay, who underscored the importance of leaving no one behind— the moderator emphasized the
importance of the concept of double inclusion in a framework of sustained growth, with a broad and
diversified base of economic sectors and the creation of decent work. The concepts proposed in the
document Linkages between the social and production spheres: gaps, pillars and challenges were, in his
opinion, closely aligned with those agreed upon by ILO, the Government of Uruguay, employers and
workers, and a virtuous circle had to be created between the social and production spheres.
41. The Minister of Labour and Social Security of Uruguay began by highlighting the notion of social
protection in his country, which was based on coordination among systems, greater levels of spending in
the area and a strong State. He insisted on the importance of dialogue and social participation, and on the
central role of collective bargaining, adding that it was essential to carry out tax reforms, add value to
export products, renew the appeal of democracy and advance with international integration systems (trade
agreements, and social and labour protection of migrants).
42. The Vice-President for the Social Area and Minister of the People’s Power for Education of the
Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela indicated that readings of the inequality index in his country had
improved as a result of the State’s increased social spending, a process which included citizen
participation. He referred to progress in free access to education, reduction of unemployment and mass
access to health care, and stressed that despite the drop in oil prices and threats from violent flashpoints,
public expenditure had not shrunk, and that some social policies —such as those related to housing— had
driven the economy forward.
43. The Minister of Social Affairs and Labour of Haiti drew attention to several programmes in her
country —supported by cooperation agencies and international organizations— aimed at addressing
access to decent work, drinking water and sanitation, the inclusion of persons with disabilities and older
adults, young people, gender quotas, support for early childhood (vaccines and primary education), and
programmes for Haitians in the Dominican Republic.
44. The Minister of Social Development of Chile underlined the relationship between social
protection, inclusion and productivity. He argued against the notion of middle-income countries, insofar
as averages could hide major inequalities, as in the case of Chile. Therefore, development had to be
approached from a multidimensional perspective and with a territorial dimension in mind. He described
how Chile’s reforms in education and labour were leading to a virtuous relationship between social and
economic inclusion, but acknowledged that constitutional change was still needed. Achieving double
inclusion required a combination of economic policies with social and labour policies, as well as models
for intervention in vocational training.
11
45. The Deputy Director for Poverty Reduction of the Administrative Department of Social
Prosperity of Colombia commented that the multidimensional measurement of poverty carried out in her
country since 2010 had allowed it to make policy decisions based on an improved identification of needs
(for example, in early childhood, education and health). She stressed that efforts were under way to
achieve double inclusion —recognizing that progress in social inclusion had not been matched in the
production sphere— and insisted on the need to improve information systems to optimize the use of
resources and avoid duplication. Measures that had been effective in Colombia included a network to
bring public services closer to the poorest families and production inclusion projects for indigenous and
Afrodescendent populations.
46. The Director General of Evaluation and Monitoring of Social Programmes of the Secretariat of
Social Development of Mexico remarked that 60% of his country’s population worked in the informal
sector and therefore lacked social security. He highlighted the need to recognize the particular
characteristics of territories and life stages to improve the social and production inclusion of those
populations. He also referred to efforts aimed at universal access to health and education services, and the
need to implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development at the local level to allow central
government measures to flourish. In closing, he underscored the need to flexibilize the labour market and
attract foreign investment.
47. The Special Envoy of the Secretary-General of the United Nations on Disability and Accessibility
stated that accessibility and support services for persons with disabilities were key aspects in the
fulfilment of rights in the spheres of political participation, education, health and family life. She
suggested a change to the following sentence on page 70 of the document Linkages between the social
and production spheres: gaps, pillars and challenges: “In addition, the possibilities for inclusion in
education are largely dependent on the type and severity of the disability in question”, as inclusion in
education could not be dependent on the degree of disability. She concluded by saying that States needed
to be fully aware of their responsibilities in matters of inclusion.
48. The leader of CTA and member of the Working Women’s Committee of the Americas of CSA, as
well as highlighting the work of the Platform for the Development of the Americas (PLADA) developed
by CSA, stressed that all stakeholders should be convened to the discussion and that it was difficult to
discuss social policies without questioning the current economic model, underscoring the importance of
collective bargaining and the existence of a care system.
49. The representative of the Argentine delegation recalled that, after the crisis of 2001, her country had
established the Social Policy Council as a forum to coordinate interministerial actions related to social
policy. She reaffirmed the importance of discussing the sustainability and territorial rationale of social
policies, as well as the importance of reflecting on the world of work and its future in the global context.
50. In closing, the moderator of the panel indicated that policy continuity and giving due
consideration to the middle classes were both essential. The Chair indicated that the changes in the
economic and technological context demanded adaptive responses through solid institutions, ensuring
universal access to high-quality services, and providing formal, decent and well-paid jobs, productive
investment, fiscal policies, and public goods and services. In combating inequality, he highlighted the
importance of achieving sustained growth and of efficient State action.
51. Panel 3, entitled “Road map for developing public policies on social and economic inclusion”,
was chaired by Edith Moraes, Acting Minister of Education and Culture of Uruguay, and moderated by
the Chief of the Social Development Division of ECLAC. The speakers on the panel were: Julio Bango,
12
Secretary of the Integrated National Care System of Uruguay; Gabriela Agosto, Executive Secretary of
the National Council for Social Policy Coordination of Argentina; Adrián Augusto Barrera, Secretary for
Higher Education, Science, Technology and Innovation and Presidential Adviser for the Social Sector
Council of Ecuador; Carlos Sáenz, Director-General of Coordination of Government and International
Cooperation of the Technical and Planning Secretariat of the Office of the President of El Salvador;
Vicenta Camusso, Coordinator of the Network of Afro-Latin American, Afro-Caribbean and Diaspora
Women; and Andrés Morales, Social and Human Sciences Specialist for Latin America and the
Caribbean of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
52. The moderator opened the panel discussion by stating that achieving the Sustainable
Development Goals required responding to a series of challenges: deepening labour inclusion,
strengthening institutions (coordinating public policies, metrics and financing) and working towards
political and fiscal feasibility (reaching consensus, participation and compacts).
53. The Secretary of the Integrated National Care System of Uruguay stated that double inclusion
would be possible only if other inequalities, aside from that of income, were addressed. He remarked that
poverty and inequality in his country had been reduced through social investment and, among other
things, the commitment to a national system of care that included children, persons with disabilities and
older persons. That fourth pillar of social protection allowed those who wanted to work to do so, thus
generating the necessary resources to distribute social wealth and to allow children to fully develop and
reach the productivity levels needed for the future.
54. The Executive Secretary of the National Council for Social Policy Coordination of Argentina
stated that labour inclusion no longer guaranteed overcoming vulnerability and poverty, insofar as the
labour market was being shaped by new demands and technological changes. She referred to a
development and technology investment fund in her country that sought to increase business productivity
and create quality jobs, as well as promoting new capacities and an inclusive form of development. She
also highlighted the importance of strengthening institutions through an intersectoral approach, achieving
vertical and horizontal integration, and taking advantage of available information to monitor and define
strategies around the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. She concluded by saying that regional
cooperation was critical to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
55. The Secretary for Higher Education, Science, Technology and Innovation and Presidential
Adviser for the Social Sector Council of Ecuador stated that his country had expanded coverage through a
development plan that placed the economy at the service of society, with a vision of more society and less
State, greater levels of participation, and an intersectoral and interdisciplinary perspective which
supported the Toda una Vida Plan, centred on the entire life cycle (early childhood, young and older
persons: nutrition, support, housing) and on territories. All that implied challenges in intersectoral
coordination, financing and achieving a smarter bureaucracy. In closing, he underscored the importance
of capacity-building, not only in technical areas but also in the socioemotional sphere.
56. The Director-General of Coordination of Government and International Cooperation of the
Technical and Planning Secretariat of the Office of the President of El Salvador remarked that his country
had made substantial efforts to recover the State, for and with the citizenship. He stated that, thanks to the
support of ECLAC and international cooperation, his country had unified its regulatory system (the
Universal Social Protection Act) under the coordinating role of the Technical and Planning Secretariat, and
went on to inform that management mechanisms to follow up and monitor programmes had been
strengthened, covering public safety, teacher training, early education and school retention, as well as a
programme to overcome poverty, with an emphasis on productive inclusion. He expressed the importance of
13
delivering quality services, building a new fiscal framework to guarantee sustainability, and securing the
commitment of business owners, citizens and ministries. Adding that El Salvador had established a single
registry of participants, he stressed the need to acknowledge changes to the social landscape resulting from
migration and violence, and that both should be taken into account when designing policies.
57. The Coordinator of the Network of Afro-Latin American, Afro-Caribbean and Diaspora Women
focused on the lack of data on Afrodescendants. She stated that poverty in the region was of a certain
colour, and that racial variables had not been clearly incorporated into the Sustainable Development
Goals, thus making it difficult to follow up on those matters. Lastly, she expressed the importance of
reflecting on the tools, strategies and actions that would allow progress towards a form of universalism
sensitive to difference and inequality.
58. The Social and Human Sciences Specialist for Latin America and the Caribbean of UNESCO
referred to the challenges of coordinating and designing public policies as described in the document and
stressed the contributions of the UNESCO Management of Social Transformations (MOST) programme,
which makes public policy recommendations based on an intersectoral and interdisciplinary perspective
so as to improve and strengthen the interaction mechanisms between stakeholders, communication
channels, and national and international information flows.
59. During the time set aside for comments, the representative of Costa Rica drew attention to her
country’s digital development strategy —linked to its social inclusion efforts— and to the importance of
adopting a risk management approach to face natural disasters. The representative of Argentina agreed
that cultural aspects and Afrodescendent affairs should be highlighted in the framework of the
2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The Chair referred to the importance of accessing
information provided through new technologies in order to design systems to identify, locate and
characterize populations, and to design and monitor the policies implemented. Closing, she said that in the
context of the Sustainable Development Goals inequality could be seen as the point of departure, equality
as the point of arrival, and equity as the strategy.
Social achievements attuned with sustainability (agenda item 5)
60. Panel 4 on “Social achievements attuned with sustainability”, was chaired by Guillermo Moncecchi,
Acting Minister of Industry, Energy and Mining of Uruguay, and moderated by George Gray Molina, Chief
Economist, Regional Bureau for Latin America and the Caribbean of UNDP. Panel participants were: Santiago
Soto, Deputy Director of the Office of Planning and the Budget of Uruguay; Miguel Ángel Moir, Secretary for
Planning and Programming of the Office of the President of Guatemala (SEGEPLAN) of Guatemala; Oliver
Arroyo Ramón, Director General of Evaluation and Monitoring of Social Programmes of the Secretariat of
Social Development of Mexico; Héctor Medina, Deputy Director of the Progress with Solidarity Programme
of the Office of the Vice-President of the Dominican Republic; Emiliano R. Fernández, Vice-Minister for
Poverty Alleviation and Social Development of the Technical Secretariat of Planning for Economic and Social
Development of Paraguay; and Elsa Servellón, Director of the National Social Sector Information Centre
(CENISS) of Honduras.
61. Introducing the panel, the Acting Minister of Industry, Energy and Mining of Uruguay stressed
his government’s interest in unifying the social and productive agendas. The moderator contextualized the
discussion highlighting that, at a time of economic slowdown and in the framework of the 2030 Agenda
for Sustainable Development, public policy should adopt a territorial approach, build a fiscal agenda
based on long-term political compacts and develop georeferenced and real-time data. He opened the floor
14
proposing that Latin America’s challenge was to accept the invitation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development to implement structural transformations in the social, economic and environmental spheres.
62. The Deputy Director of the Office of Planning and Budget of Uruguay recalled that reducing
poverty and inequality in his country had required structural transformations, a doubling of output, the
introduction of a universal healthcare system and a system for transfers to poor families, as well as a tax
reform. He said that all that was the result of decisions made during an economic upturn, but there was
still work to be done to standardize those results across the whole country and to consolidate the fiscal
position in order to withstand a long downturn and meet the institutional challenge of improving
intersectoral coordination.
63. The Secretary for Planning and Programming of SEGEPLAN of Guatemala spoke about the three
mechanisms implemented in his country: a strategy to coordinate the follow-up to the 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development; a national system of social and economic development councils to consolidate
the intersectoral approach and carry out improved planning and information management exercises; and,
the development by the Ministry of Public Finances of fiscal microsimulation exercises in areas such as
food security and public safety.
64. The Director General of Evaluation and Monitoring of Social Programmes of the Secretariat of
Social Development of Mexico presented the “Inclusive Mexico” strategy —part of the National
Development Plan— and spoke of other advances, including the creation of formal jobs, the
implementation of productive projects and initiatives to combat nutritional deficiencies, certify skills and
coordinate social programmes with employment exchange services, and other initiatives to provide care
and support to older persons. He also stressed the importance of actions that were relevant to the country
and of the need for a protocol to be followed by all relevant institutions in the event of a natural disaster
in order to provide more appropriate care.
65. The Deputy Director of the Progress with Solidarity Programme of the Office of the Vice-President of
the Dominican Republic said that his country had set up a High-level Inter-Agency Commission for
Sustainable Development, which among other things had established a follow-up system for the
implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals using technologies that had allowed information to be
gathered from 80% of the population. That data had been used to develop indicators to improve the planning
and follow-up of implemented policies. Indices on quality of life and vulnerability to environmental shocks
had been developed, the latter was important for facing the challenges of natural disasters.
66. The Vice-Minister for Poverty Alleviation and Social Development of the Technical Secretariat
of Planning for Economic and Social Development of Paraguay said that, in terms of sustainability, the
market had played a fundamental role together with public policies in his country’s development strategy.
A number of programmes, based on georeferenced information, had been developed to promote inclusion,
including the Tekoporã, the food assistance for older adults and Sembrando Oportunidades programmes,
and the Familia por Familia initiative.
67. The Director of CENISS of Honduras shared details of the institution she represented and spoke
about the Unified Registry of Participants (RUP), which gathered social information and household
descriptions that could be validated and monitored to respond to families’ needs. Both RUP and the
Institutional Supply Registry (ROI) were examples of georeferenced information tools that helped to
identify gaps in the areas of health, education and work, and to monitor programme compliance. To
analyse families’ needs and guide decision-making in that regard, solid statistical systems were needed
that incorporated disaggregated socio-spatial data.
15
68. In the ensuing discussions, the moderator referred to the many innovative initiatives mentioned
and said that, in all likelihood, the region would develop a series of mechanisms linking the short and
long term, rather than a grand development plan. Accordingly, the region needed a narrative to
communicate how the Goals would be achieved by 2030, through joint efforts to address gaps that would
bring about changes in power relationships, institutions and culture. The Regional Director for Latin
America and the Caribbean of UNDP said that the meaning of the ideas of multidimensionality,
territoriality, reformulation of institutions and interconnectivity, among others, must be clarified, since the
presentations by the vast majority of the countries had touched on some of those concepts. She added that
it was crucial to invest in young people, educational quality and employability.
69. Lastly, the Acting Minister of Industry, Energy and Mining of Uruguay said that the countries’
presentations demonstrated their willingness to move forward in a sustainable manner. In such rapidly
changing times countries must assess their realities, adjust their decisions and review the relevance of tools
used in the light of a commonly-agreed long-term goal. In his view, the Sustainable Development Goals
guided each policy action within the framework of the 2030 Agenda, which was the long-term strategy.
Other matters (agenda item 6)
70. In a special statement, the President of the National Association of Non-Governmental
Organisations for Development (ANONG) and a representative of the Good Shepherd organization in
Nicaragua read a declaration by civil society, which is included in annex 2 to this report.
Consideration and adoption of agreements (agenda item 7)
71. The member States of the Regional Conference on Social Development in Latin America and the
Caribbean adopted the resolution, which appears in annex 1 to this report.
Closing session
72. In the closing session, statements were made by Laís Abramo, Chief of the Social Development
Division of ECLAC; Jessica Faieta, Regional Director for Latin America and the Caribbean of UNPD;
and Marina Arismendi, Minister of Social Development of Uruguay.
73. The Chief of the Social Development Division of ECLAC said that the Conference had been
organized in conjunction with the Government of Uruguay, UNDP and other United Nations agencies.
She welcomed the meeting organized by civil society and noted the interest in continuing efforts to build
up a regional network to work on the issues discussed. She said that the document presented was intended
to be a contribution to the discussion on the challenges faced by the countries of the region to achieve
double inclusion and, thus, consolidate progress and avoid backsliding with regard to poverty and
inequality. The culture of privilege must be broken down and steps taken towards creating a culture of
equality, taking into account the inequality matrix and systematically generating data, statistics and
indicators. She expressed concern about the impact that technological changes, complex global value
chains, environmental challenges and demographic trends (such as migration and population ageing) were
having on the world of work. Lastly, she said that the impact of social policies was not confined to the
social sphere, the effects were also felt in the areas of the economy, production and the environment,
those policies must therefore be linked.
16
74. The Regional Director for Latin America and the Caribbean of UNDP thanked the Government of
Uruguay for its hospitality and the countries for generously sharing their experiences. She welcomed the
contribution of civil society to the meeting and said that the event had been a valuable learning
experience, not only for the countries, but also for the organizations that had come to lend their support.
She called on all those present to participate in the next joint meeting of the Presiding Officers of the
Conference and the tenth Ministerial Forum for Development in Latin America and the Caribbean, which
would be organized by UNDP in Panama.
75. In closing, the Minister of Social Development of Uruguay commended the joint efforts
undertaken to organize the event. She noted the institutional lessons learned and welcomed the
consolidation of the Conference as a social forum. She congratulated ECLAC on the document presented
and referred to the creation of forums for coordinating the efforts of different ministries in her country, in
the framework of both the Conference and the round table discussions. She confirmed that the
Government of Uruguay would honour its commitments to take steps to define a regional agenda for
inclusive social development, as stated in paragraph 11 of the resolution.

implementation of the 2030 Agenda will forge a global consensus for the pursuit of a new development
paradigm that will serve to strengthen peace, eradicate poverty in all its forms and dimensions, including
extreme poverty, combat inequality and protect human rights, ensuring no one is left behind,
Recognizing the importance of the Forum of the Countries of Latin America and the Caribbean on
Sustainable Development as a follow-up mechanism for the 2030 Agenda in the region and for
establishing agreements on inclusive social development as a pillar of sustainable development,
Recognizing also the negative effects of unilateral coercive economic measures on the economic
and social development of the countries subjected to such measures,
Bearing in mind that resolution 1(I) adopted at the first session of the Regional Conference on
Social Development in Latin America and the Caribbean, held in Lima in November 2015, urged the
Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean to deepen the integrated analysis of the
multiple dimensions of social inequality, poverty and vulnerability, as well as of the relationship between
economic, production and social policies and policies on employment protection and decent work,
18
Recalling that, at their first meeting, held in Santo Domingo in November 2016, the Presiding
Officers of the Regional Conference on Social Development in Latin America and the Caribbean
welcomed the analytical progress enshrined in the document The social inequality matrix in Latin
America,1 and urged the countries to deepen research and knowledge and incorporate the elements
analysed in that document into the design of public policies for social development,
Recalling also the firm commitment expressed by the Presiding Officers of the Regional
Conference on Social Development in Latin America and the Caribbean to the eradication of poverty and
the reduction of inequality in all its forms, and the importance of building agreements, compacts and
consensuses to consolidate the culture of equality and overcome the culture of privilege in the region,
1. Welcomes the document Linkages between the social and production spheres: gaps, pillars
and challenges2 prepared by the secretariat, and urges the secretariat to disseminate it broadly and to
foster its discussion and analysis in the region, in particular within civil society and in the academic
sphere, promoting national dialogues on the main topics addressed and taking national specificities into
consideration in every case, and requests the secretariat to explore in greater depth the link between the
social and productive spheres;
2. Recognizes that reducing the social footprint of the current development model and achieving
inclusive social development are essential for sustainable development and for the fulfilment of the Goals
and targets of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and require the coordination of productive
inclusion and social inclusion policies, especially in the current context of change accelerated by
technological innovation at the global level;
3. Also recognizes that the region has structural inequalities that intersect and concatenate
throughout the life cycle, affecting with particular intensity children and adolescents, older persons,
young people, women, indigenous peoples, the Afrodescendent population, persons with disabilities,
migrants, those living in disadvantaged areas and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex persons;
4. Emphasizes the importance of treating territory as a vector for guiding the design and
implementation of social policies to promote equality and inclusive social development;
5. Reaffirms that sustainable development cannot be achieved without equality of rights,
capacities, means, outcomes and the commitment of Governments and civil society to consolidate social
development and close access gaps within and between countries;
6. Appreciates the advances achieved by the region over the past 15 years in reducing poverty and
inequality and improving citizens’ living conditions, and reiterates its commitment to eradicating poverty
and inequality in all their forms and dimensions through social policies that are inclusive and difference-
aware, and have a gender, ethnicity, race, intersectoral, intercultural and human- rights perspective;
7. Observes with particular concern the trend towards the reduction of social development
budgets in the region, the possible weakening of social protection systems that this could cause and the
possibility that it could impede the expansion of universal social services and the maintenance and
improvement of policies and programmes aimed at ending poverty, protecting employment and
promoting equality;

8. Emphasizes, therefore, the need to safeguard, promote and ensure the efficiency of social
investment and continue working to make the tax burden more progressive, in order to consolidate the
progress achieved and avoid setbacks that would carry high costs for individuals and national economies;
9. Reaffirms its conviction that the sustained creation of productive employment and decent
work is a prerequisite for consolidating and deepening the region’s progress in reducing poverty and
inequality, as is guaranteeing access to quality education and health care and to universal social protection
systems founded on a rights-based approach, including care policies to ensure coresponsibility between
the State and society and between women and men, with an emphasis on gender, generational and human-
rights approaches;
10. Urges the countries to generate national consensuses, compacts and agreements, in
accordance with their capacities and in line with their individual situations, for strengthening a culture of
equality and overcoming the culture of privilege, safeguarding social investment and the role of social
policies and the institutional framework in sustainable development;
11. Undertakes to foster the building of a regional agenda for inclusive social development based
on public policies that address the region’s structural inequalities and the new challenges arising from
technological change and the necessary transition to an environmentally sustainable economy, with a
focus based on rights, gender equality and the life cycle and an approach of universalism that is
sensitive to differences, within the general framework of the social dimension of the 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development;
12. Calls upon States, as part of that agenda, to address the situation of particular inequality,
discrimination and social and economic exclusion that affects children and adolescents, older persons,
young people, women, indigenous peoples, the Afrodescendent population, persons with disabilities,
those living in disadvantaged areas and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex persons, together
with migrants, populations affected by disasters and climate change and those displaced from their
territories by conflicts;
13. Urges States, in the preparation and discussion of that agenda, to actively engage civil society,
academia and the private sector, in line with the multi-stakeholder approach enshrined in the 2030 Agenda
for Sustainable Development, in accordance with their normative and institutional frameworks;
14. Asks the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean to provide technical
assistance for that agenda’s construction within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals,
continuing to analyse in-depth the axes that structure social inequality in the region, promoting the
guarantee of the population’s social, economic and cultural rights, with particular emphasis on policies for
contributory and non-contributory social protection, health and education, food security and nutrition,
care, the promotion of productive employment and decent work of high quality, and the social
institutional framework and financing of social policies, and fostering South-South cooperation for
exchanging experiences and lessons learned among countries;
15. Agrees to report to the Forum of the Countries of Latin America and the Caribbean on
Sustainable Development, through the Chair of the Regional Conference on Social Development in Latin
America and the Caribbean and with the support of the secretariat, on the progress made in building that
agenda and on the main advances achieved in implementing the social dimension of the 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development within the region;
20
16. Urges the Commission to further its analysis of the social dimension of the 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development and of how it interconnects with the economic and environmental dimensions,
how it applies to the region’s social policies and how it is to adapt to the challenges arising from changes
in the world of work;
17. Also urges the Commission to further its analysis of the challenges related to the
sustainability of the financing needed to close gaps in access to comprehensive social protection systems
and universal social services;
18. Reiterates the request that the Commission support the countries of the region in their efforts
to strengthen their social policy evaluation systems;
19. Also reiterates that the Regional Conference on Social Development in Latin America and the
Caribbean is the ideal forum for combining efforts and building synergies between the different actors working
on sustainable development for the regional implementation of the 2030 Agenda with an approach that is
centred on the social dimension and promotes South-South cooperation;
20. Takes note of the declaration by civil society and asks that it be included as an annex to the report;
21. Requests the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean to continue organizing,
maintaining, updating and regularly publishing, on digital platforms or other media, databases which are
organized by the Commission on the basis of official data presented by the countries, including the social
investment database, the database of non-contributory social protection programmes in Latin America and the
Caribbean, the database on youth and social inclusion in Latin America and the Caribbean and the database on
social institutions in Latin America and the Caribbean, thereby setting up an observatory on social
development to support public policymaking and assist in monitoring trends, while aiming towards the
development of other thematic pillars such as food and nutrition security, policies on care and coresponsibility,
gender, ethnicity and race;
22. Decides that the Presiding Officers of the Regional Conference on Social Development in
Latin America and the Caribbean will comprise Uruguay as Chair and Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, the
Dominican Republic, Haiti, Panama and Mexico as Vice-Chairs;

Public statement by civil society organizations at the Conference
“Role of civil society organizations in development processes for social and economic inclusion”
In the framework of the second session of the Regional Conference on Social Development in Latin
America and the Caribbean, organized by ECLAC
The civil society organizations participating in this Conference state the following:
In the framework of the emergence of the economic and social development paradigm expressed in the
Sustainable Development Goals, which is currently a global commitment to leave no one behind, we
reaffirm the importance of human rights, fairness, justice and social solidarity as guiding principles.
We recognize the importance of the commitments signed by our governments to achieve these Goals, and
considering that the States are responsible for creating and guaranteeing the conditions needed, as civil
society organizations we reaffirm our commitment to ensuring that the maximum efforts are made in each
of our countries to achieve them.
In recent decades, we have seen some progress in socioeconomic indicators, which have led some of our
countries to be classified as medium- or high-income developing countries. However, we underscore the
fact that economic and social development in Latin America and the Caribbean continues to reflect the
historical exploitation of natural resources and human beings, which leads to marginalization, exclusion,
migration, and working and living conditions at odds with dignity and basic decency. While some
economic and social achievements and advances have been made in some countries, there is still much to
be done to integrate those population groups that, historically and socially, have been left behind, owing
to the persistent violation of their rights and the lack of opportunities. Greater output and wealth creation
in our economies in recent decades continues to benefit mainly large global economic centres and some
small groups within countries, and scarcely reaches the poorest households in the region. The relative
improvement in the income of these households has led to higher consumption of products, but has had
little impact on families living conditions. Our region still has the highest levels of economic inequality,
which means that global gender, generational and ethnic and racial gaps become wider.
We are witnessing the expansion of a globalizing cultural model that has established a set of values and
practices in line with the existing economic and political models, and that is widening the gaps between
countries, societies and citizens in situations of poverty or wealth, inclusion or exclusion, and with or
without opportunities to work and live in dignity. This model prioritizes the production and consumption
of goods, and obscures and endangers cultural diversity and social reproduction, failing to recognize that
without the latter, economic production is impossible.
The territorial concentration of wealth and of poverty is also expressed in changes in urban design,
undermining social integration and the democratization of public spaces.
There are more people living in poverty today, mainly children, adolescents, women, persons with
disabilities and ethnic and racial minority groups. The gap in access to knowledge is widening, territorial
segmentation is worsening and educational segregation is exacerbating inequalities. We live in a time of
profound global cultural change, driven by a market economy that imposes its rules on all human
28
activities, including culture and education, in which States have not been very successful in implementing
new policies to change the status quo. We emphasize the historical contribution of civil society
organizations to reducing these inequalities.
Education, which is shaped by a narrow view of quality, does not address the demands of students, and
thus excludes them from education systems. Standardized tests are unable to evaluate the quality of
systems and fail to take into account local diversity and contexts. The education that we want and need
should be emancipatory and transformative, respect human dignity, overcome the multiple forms of
discrimination and violence, and promote the full exercise of all human rights.
Large areas lack services, resulting in serious health and ecological problems, and basic infrastructure,
which undermines links with the world of work and weakens social interactions that provide value, a
sense of belonging, protection and access to societys cultural and spiritual riches. It is impossible to
consider self-generated territorial development processes without taking into account the objective
conditions defined outside the territory and ignoring the local reality.
Social exclusion is not only a problem for persons left behind by these systems; on the contrary, it
concerns society as a whole, not just economically, but also in terms of the ethical and political need for
social inclusion of broad sectors of the Latin American population.
The conditions of poverty and absence of the State in rural and peripheral areas in many of the regions
countries violate the rights of people who are victims of labour exploitation and trafficking for the sex and
drug trades.
The persistence of the feminist struggle and womens movements has led to significant achievements,
both symbolic and cultural, on the work and social fronts, as well as in daily life in households and in
gender relations. The size and diversity of this movement was reflected in the citizen mobilization on 8
March in a number of cities and towns in the region and in protests against gender-based violence, with
organizations focusing on efforts to secure legislation to combat femicide and violence against women
and to advance sexual and reproductive rights for all.
The development of the personal integrity of the individual as a rights-holder and a social, political and
historical being is a complex process of achieving autonomy, especially for persons with disabilities. As
individuals concerned about their future and social and historical reality, their ability to make an impact
must be constantly strengthened in order to exercise and defend their rights, including the power to make
decisions, control material resources and participate socially and politically, with no exceptions.
Countries around the world are experiencing an emergence of old and new xenophobic, androcentric,
patriarchal and racist rhetoric and practices that directly affect native, Afrodescendent, mestizo and immigrant
communities, who continue to suffer from discrimination and violation of their fundamental rights.
The situations of inequality and exclusion that continue to affect indigenous and Afrodescendent peoples
all over the continent must be included in the agenda of social and economic development policies.
In our region, despite the democratic progress made socially and politically, the lack of mechanisms for
transparency and accountability, oversight and democratic governance, continues to pave the way for
corrupt practices in State institutions and public companies. Tax evasion, informal work and insufficient
policies to address the labour, food, education, health and housing needs of the population, still
characterize our societies and directly affect national economies.
29
Because of our vocation and commitment to human development and to the people and organizations
participating in this Conference, we reaffirm the legitimacy of organized civil society as an interlocutor in
public policy processes and we call for greater opportunities to participate freely.
We demand of the governments of our region:
• Full enjoyment of human rights in all our societies, affirmed in State policies, for all people.
• Economic and financial policies consistent with human rights, in terms of inclusion,
complementarity, cooperation, productive and economic integration, social redistribution of
earnings, with follow-up, transparency and public reporting.
• A sustainable development model which prioritizes justice, fairness and solidarity, in which
human beings are the central concern, live in harmony with nature, and follow the concept of
living well of indigenous peoples.
• Mechanisms to overcome tax evasion and for tax justice that provide sufficient financing for
social policies, particularly education, in order to reduce inequalities.
• Monitoring, inspection and public reporting which is timely and reflects the necessary clarity at
all levels of government, in light of economic decisions involving the use of natural resources.
• The creation of conditions for shared responsibility and redistribution of efforts required for
social reproduction, including domestic and care work and the cost of time and of monetary,
natural and human resources, so that the workload is no longer shouldered primarily by women.
• The creation and accessibility of good-quality services in public health, secular, free and inclusive
education, food, housing and culture, for all persons living in our societies, and in particular, that
provide adequate care for the groups that are most vulnerable and have the least resources.
• Investment in childhood and adolescence as an unavoidable priority for a sustainably built society.
• The guarantee of decent and dignifying work and income for all, equal rights, labour
responsibilities and conditions without discrimination (on the basis of disability, ethnicity,
nationality, sexual orientation and gender identity, and age).
• The establishment of a social protection floor as a key instrument to achieve equality, a
fundamental target of global development.
• Promotion of a culture of democratic and participatory governance, at all institutional and social
levels, by requiring State institutions and services to operate in accordance with the principles of
transparency, equal rights and services for all, and management accountability.
• We consider an education for a decent life based on trust and ethical commitment among
stakeholders possible and necessary. This education should provide opportunities to develop and
optimize peoples ability to solve specific problems, and value everyday experiences, creativity
and innovation, happiness and cheerfulness. It should recognize in each person a complete,
unique and complex being, able to cultivate his or her physical, emotional, mental and spiritual
sides, and who learns to live freely and practice tolerance, solidarity, justice, non-violence and
mutual assistance, in short, someone who enjoys their human rights fully.
30
• Support for the development and visibility of the social and solidarity economy, in all its
cooperative, associative and self-managing aspects, as an alternative form of production and
distribution, responsible financing and consumption; this economy should provide development
solutions to existing social, economic and environmental problems, in addition to contributing to
food security and healthy diets, gender equality and care for the environment.
• Adoption, by the governments that have not already done so, of the Inter-American Convention
on Protecting the Human Rights of Older Persons.
As civil society organizations we call on the governments and States of Latin America and the Caribbean
to show their commitment and collective efforts to:
• Recognize the right to participation, freedom of association and expression, including of children,
adolescents and young people, overcoming the growing tendency to criminalize activists, social
movements, human rights defenders, students and teachers.
• Consider civil society organizations as relevant actors in the collective building of our societies,
enabling their legitimate, responsible, necessary and relevant participation in the implementation
of public policies, on the basis of agreements with clear rules and fair and equitable laws.
• Strengthen the capacities of civil society organizations to influence, monitor and demand
accountability from the State, in order to mainstream human rights, gender, generational,
ethnicity and race, disability, sexual diversity and older persons perspectives into social policies,
in particular the perspectives of groups that are not heard and need it most.
• Strengthen and develop the network of organizations that make up the associative universe, with
specific resources that make it viable and sustainable, building creative and innovative capacities.
This means that resources must be available, accessible and bolstered, and should be focused on
the development and institutional strengthening of social organizations. Similarly, they should
address human resource development; research; knowledge creation; management strengthening;
institutional transparency; capacity for reporting, communication and advocacy; and the
improvement of regulatory frameworks that regulate and promote organizations activities.
Our approach and proactive and constructive role means that civil society organizations are committed to
contributing to and demanding the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and their proposed
targets. We will participate in all international conferences, and urge all Latin American and Caribbean
States to commit to ensuring that these spaces and the necessary resources are available, and to organizing
meetings at reasonable times and with no exclusions.
We call on governments, States, civil society organizations and movements and international agencies to
commit —with full freedom of thought, opinion and expression— to uphold the right to information and
democratic and transparent communication in our countries. We are promoters of dialogue and collective
advancement.
